Small and midsized businesses (SMBs) face many challenges as they adapt to today’s new style of doing business.

protected. The data requirements facing organizations today as a direct result of digital
initiatives are unprecedented and require new approaches for protecting and enabling
recovery for high value data assets.
Governments around the world are trying to keep pace with the digital tsunami and
